Money Secrets:
There has never been a time in American history when individuals have been more
informed, more empowered, and more "in the
mood" to take charge of their personal
finance and investing success than now. The
success of the stock market, the rise of the
internet, and the mainstreaming of personal
finance as a polite topic of conversation at
dinner parties have all contributed to this
wonderful trend.
The driving force behind this occurrence is
access to information. Never before has the
individual investor or the household money
manager had such low-cost access to such
high-quality information. This trend is spearheaded by our partners, the publishing companies you'll find featured in 101 Money
Secrets. They have invested and continue to
invest untold billions of dollars to ensure that
each of us has the opportunity to get worldclass personal finance and investing information, analysis, and advise on a regular basis
and in a timely fashion.
We would like to thank them for their past
and future success in making this information
available to the American reading public, and
for their participation in bringing 101 Money
Secrets to you.

Half-a-world away
Although the world is moving toward a uniform
accounting standard, were not there yet, so foreign numbers can be difficult to compare, when
youre trying to pick individual foreign stocks.
Check out the value and income of American
Depository Receipts (ADRs). With ADRs you
get financial reports in accordance with United
States accounting standards.
ADRs are negotiable certificates that represent
one or more foreign shares, which are in the custody of a big U.S. bank, such as Citibank and
Bank of New York.
